Controls on the keyboard don't work that well

The game is clearly designed with a controller in mind. Specifically, a mechanic that allows throwing enemies and various objects uses the analog stick to aim. Aiming using the keyboard is limited to 8 directions and is not sufficiently precise.

Con

Buggy

There are quite a few bugs during gameplay such as dying immediately after a respawn. This can be frustrating for the player and makes for a subpar experience.

Con

Difficult gameplay

Difficulty starts at hard and only gets harder from each setting after that making for a difficult game that is not friendly to people used to less difficult games. It can also take time to get used to the difficulty which some people do not have to spare.
